Wednesdays: Aurora Language Table

Aurora Language Table starts on Jan. 30 at Culture Stock.What is Aurora Language Table? Aurora Language Table (ALT) is a free and informal English/Spanish practice session. For an hour each Wednesday, participants will gather at Culture Stock bookstore at 43 E. Galena in downtown Aurora to speak Spanish for a half hour and then English for a half hour. Depending on the turnout of each event, participants will either be paired with another speaker or join a small group. The goal of ALT is to help each other learn to converse in the other’s native language. Who can participate?Participants should be adults (18 or over) and have a basic knowledge of the language they want to learn. Conversation starter cards will be provided to aid participants, but a basic vocabulary will most likely be needed to converse. Language tables are not intended as introductory language classes, but rather as an opportunity for those who are learning a language to practice.Why participate?Language is best learned through conversation. Aurora Language Table gives language learners an opportunity to converse with a native speaker in a fun and encouraging environment.
